I don’t even get upset anymore when I see white people wearing blackface for Halloween because I know in most cases, the racism is the point—and we already know a lot of white people are racist. A racist white person in a racist costume is redundant. It’s like putting Tucker Carlson in a KKK robe. It’s like putting a bad wig on Candace Owens. It’s like Rudi Giuliani dressing up as the Penguin. It’s like Donald Trump wearing a pumpkin mask. 

We get it—you decided to be you for Halloween.

Somewhere in Utah, a group of racist Caucasians decided to dress up as racist Caucasians, with three white men wearing blackface apparently to pose as Black prison inmates while a white woman appears to be dressed as a prison guard.

So this happened at cedar city Utah Walmart. Wow.. pic.twitter.com/5nIztPRyXj

In the video, you can hear someone trying to talk sense to the group of self-cosplaying white supremacists.

“You guys are not going to get into college—you guys are not going to get any scholarships—because this is a hate crime,” a woman can be heard saying.

One of the anti-Black white people in a clever anti-Black white person costume laughed it off saying, “We all dropped out of high school, so it’s OK,” to which the woman responded, “I still don’t think it’s appropriate for you guys to be doing this…It’s really not funny.”

Yeah, there’s really no point in trying to reason with white people who decide to wear blackface despite the fact that every single year on Halloween, white people get dragged for thinking blackface is appropriate for their costume. So, if they’re still doing it knowing they’ll be perceived as racist—then it’s clear they’re just racist, and you can’t really shame a racist for being racist. 

I was wondering, as a teen or young adult growing up in the age of internet, even in utah, you must have somehow heard that blackface is utterly inappropriate and garners major backlash from all sides. even if 1 doesn’t mind doing that, would 1 choose to attract the attention?

Apparently, if one was trying to identify this group of bigots in bigot-wear, Googling “Utah Blackface” isn’t the way because it’s basically like Goggling “water fish.”

Googled “Utah blackface,” and this seems to be kind of a thing there. pic.twitter.com/joOIwNJzw9

Damn. If you just Google “blackface Utah” you’ll be scrolling nonstop through different instances like this. I lived there as a kid and it’s a beautiful place, but this is really disturbing.

But, again, at this point, Hallo-racists are just pathetic and boring. I’m over it.
